Check out the new "Ducks vs Them" that just dropped!!

 

 

 

This one gave me goosebumps.  The Gladiator references were absolutely spot on.

That certainly explains the 👎🏻 we saw last week from several of OBDs!

 

Thanks for sharing!

Wow. This one was absolutely over the top. Gladiators going into the arena to dominate the opponent and shut up the crowd. Living up to every word Lanning said on Monday all the way to the final time out to soak up the moment before finishing them off. These videos are starting to look like the prequels of a documentary on the rise of the Duck empire.

 

Thumbs down! Are you not entertained?

Loved the Coach K clip Lanning showed, and the moment it was fulfilled in the big house. "Wha's the key? Preparation is the key. In this game, I'm going to come up to you at some point, I'm going to ask you to take a peek. I'm going to ask you to look around and see them leaving that place because we did our job."

 

Wow, that is next level coaching that is making this team a force to reckon with.

 

Go Ducks!

Is there a better motivator in college football today than Dan Lanning?!

Dan telling them earlier in the week to watch the crowd empty out was the coolest thing I think I have ever seen.

Amazing team motivation and fulfillment of Lanning's mantra of work and continuous improvement. At first I thought the last drive and the thumbs down gestures were a bit over the top, but there was no taunting component and in the pregame context it makes sense. Leave no doubt that you are the superior team and do it in their house.

 

The killer mentality with the talent and scheme to make it all work is what's new for Oregon. This is the most complete team I think I've seen in 35 years of following OBD football. Whatever DL learned at the knee of Saban and Kirby he has transferred to Eugene and it is bearing fruit with this 2024 Duck team.

 

The grass is damn green indeed.

Lanning likely had that theme prepped prior to the season starting for what should have been a huge game in smack in the middle of a grinding stretch.  What a fantastic way to get a team focused for a long road trip in the middle of a long season for a game which had lost a lot of luster.

Lanning has said he has a sports psychologist consultant that provides him with a theme every week. He doesn't have to be a genius motivator himself, but he does take ownership of it.

 

Definitely all the smiling thumbs down by the offensive players at the end of the game near the goal line makes sense after the video. They were pining to go for it and score rather than kneeling out the game. No mercy.
